"legal reasons"?

It appears that myfreecams is trimming the fat as some models from the Philippines will be allowed to remain as part of their main page lineup, so I can't be sure what the real story is. It just appears as though myfreecams is cutting down their bandwidth consumption with the lower earning models and are using the Philippines as their target for where to start cutting. When their Miss myfreecams contest is taken into consideration (both one contest for main page, and one additional contest for the asian page) , added up, number one through ten, the dollar amount total is $2,700.00 in prizes. Eliminating Miss myfreecams "asian" from the equation saves them some money right there.

A model friend of mine in Romania copied over the announcement that models see when they log into their business accounts. I noted the legal problems don't seem to extend to the top asian models.

Oct 26th, '11 Asian Homepage Closure
**THE FOLLOWING ONLY AFFECTS MODELS ON THE ASIAN HOMEPAGE**

Unfortunately, effective October 31 2011, we are closing the Asian Homepage portion of MyFreeCams.com, which is where models from the Philippines broadcasted their webcams.

The top models that are shown on both the normal homepage and the Asian Homepage will continue to be shown on the normal homepage and they will have no change to their account.

The models that are shown only on the Asian Homepage will have their accounts closed at the end of the pay period on October 31 2011.

All models will be paid all of their earnings like always.

Even after the account have been closed, models will still be able to login and check their previous stats and change their payment information if needed to make sure that they are paid everything they are owed.

This immediate change was required for legal reasons and there was nothing we could do to avoid it. We are truly sorry. We cannot provide any more details.

We value all of our models from all over the world and we hope that in the future we are able to once again broadcast models from the Philippines.

There are many other websites who are able to accept models from the Philippines, and if you need help finding another site please contact our model suppport and we will do our best to help you.

Please accept our sincerest apologies from the entire MyFreeCams Team -- we always tried to do our best for you and we are very sad to see this day come.

**THE PRECEDING ONLY AFFECTS MODELS ON THE ASIAN HOMEPAGE**



It just looks to me that myfreecams is tightening up their ship. Can't blame them for that if costs are the real reason.
